In October 2011 activists of LIBERA! rescued several dogs that had been allegedly used in clandestine fights in Tucumán (Argentina), after receiving anonymous information on the situation of the animals and their abandonment in an uninhabited house. When they arrived to such place they were faced by the most dantesc images: one of the dogs had died after a long agony due to the brutal wounds she had suffered, and the rest were chained and presenting wounds inflicted by cruelty and violence.

The terrible situation in which these animals were found shows the perversity, sadism, and total disregard for their lives by the person responsible for their care. To our dismay, we also learned that this person is a qualified veterinarian.

At present, the person who allegedly used to organize fights with the rescued dogs has sued this group of activists, thus they have been charged with theft.
